Apparently Canada and Europe's expected response to Trump's market-disrupting tariffs is to hoist the white flag and capitulate. #Tariff

Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering…

Meanwhile, America elected a barely sentient orange turnip.

Any Questions?!

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs.

I don't think the average American grasps how concerned the average Canadian is about the annexation threat.

A lot of Americans are brushing it off a backburner ridiculous thing from Trump -- but here in Canada, our prime minister is literally telling us tariffs are part of an annexation plan.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

In 2021, COVID was shown to be fully airborne. Yet for years, hospitals have failed to upgrade infection control measures. Bodies like the WHO and CDC are leaving HCW and patients in danger by failing to match recommendations to the science.

My latest:

CDC infection control body rejects the science on airborne transmission
HICPAC continues to stonewall efforts to evolve infection control guidance to match updated information about COVID and other common viruses.

Making a critical error in thinking again.

It’s not COVID-19 *or* TB.

It’s COVID-19 AND TB.

(and there are known mechanisms to support the hypothesis that C19 will increase risk of TB.)
